Food pictures can let you know whether it’s worth trying out this restaurant or moving on to somewhere else.

There’s also a handy button to upload your own photos if you spot something worth sharing.

The other major addition is a new tab under Your Places that pulls out where you’re headed according to your Gmail and Google Calendar. Touch any of the items to see where they are on the map.

The new Upcoming tab can help you more quickly find the places you’re planning to visit.

When you tap the overflow button (three dots) for each event, you’re able to view the details from Gmail or Google Calendar. You can also dismiss it from this screen.

To check out the latest goodies, be sure you have version 9.38 of Google Maps beta from the Play Store or APK Mirror.

The impact on you: These new features serve as a good reminder that if you want the absolute latest features from Maps, you should jump on the beta channel. It’s very stable and offers a good way to check out what’s new before it hits the mainstream.
